Despite the
fact that he is a Catholic, the 2018 Presidential Flagbearer of the All
People’s Congress (APC) party, Dr. Samura Mathew Wilson Kamara continues to
feed the nation as part of his Ramadan gesture.

The fine
politician has again donated over 1,500 bags of rice, 2000 facemasks and dozens
of Veronica buckets for hand-washing to Muslim communities, fasting families
and the most vulnerable and deprived people in the Western Area.

The gesture
is to help cushion the harsh economic burden vulnerable people are facing
during these excruciating times when the dreadful COVID-19 is ravaging and
halting the socio-economic activities of the people.

The
philanthropic gesture from the kind-hearted and ardent believer in the
Almighty, and also an epitome of religious tolerance is not the first neither
the last as he had done similar humanitarian gestures prior to his active
involvement in politics.

Dr. Samura
Kamara encouraged all and sundry to be kind and benevolent because giving to
others and to the needy during this holy month is a blessing. He added that the
global COVID-19 pandemic has posed serious economic burden on the livelihood of
the ordinary man particularly with the measures imposed by the government to
curtail the rapid transmission and eradication of the disease.

“These harsh
but relevant measures have caused untold suffering for the masses especially
for the hand-to-mouth category that form the bulk of the country’s population”.
Dr. Samura Kamara noted, while calling on all and sundry to love one another
and have mercy on the poor, especially during this difficult time, when the
cost of living is extremely high.

He
maintained that he would shortly replicate this
gesture to the other districts and regions as it is an ongoing process
aiming at providing food for the physically challenged, APC structures, the
vulnerable, those living in slum communities and the poorest of the poor, he
said.

Dr. Samura
Kamara is a man of passion and has concern for the difficulties people are
facing in terms of earning their daily bread especially with the presence of
the inter-district partial lockdown, which to some extent is an impediment to
farming and other socio-economic activities.

He called on
the government of President Bio to relax the inter district partial lockdown to
give way for people to embark on farming as the Rainy Season has begun and
people need to travel in order to undertake farming activities.

He used the
opportunity to call on all Sierra Leoneans to come together and join the fight
against COVID-19.
